Old School Tattoos

Joy of Ink offers the finest old-school tattoos Melboune can offer

Old-school tattoos have been around since, well, the old school – their bold black outlines and limited colour palettes were first a popular choice amongst sailors in the early 1900’s. Continue the legacy with your very own traditional old-school tattoos from Joy of Ink’s talented team of artists. Whether you’re wanting a mermaid, pin-up, dagger, rose or a variety of other old-school tattoos, you can count on Joy of Ink to go above and beyond your expectations to give you a tattoo that will truly stand the test of time. If you have a particular design in mind, bring it in and one of our expert artists will replicate it. Maybe you’ve only got a starting point – that works as well. We will happily work alongside you to design the old-school tattoos you’ve been dreaming of. Our first priority is to make sure you walk out of our studio satisfied with the service and quality of your new tattoo. If you’d like to speak with us before making the commitment, we offer a no-cost consultation to discuss your design for half an hour. It’s obligation free, so why wait? Call us today on (03) 8555 9293 to book an appointment and chat with one of our friendly artists.
